I am someone who has lost about 80 pounds and I have about another 70-80 or so pounds to go to be at a nice healthy weight. I'm someone who doesn't have the best genetics or skin for that matter and I'm dealing with very bad loose skin on my stomach, arms, and inner thighs, my breasts are also giving me problems
I have been mostly told that insurance will usually not cover, or even help, with any surgeries after weight loss.
Have any of you actually got your insurance to help with any kind of surgeries after weight loss?

It depends on what country you live in. Surgery is covered here if you are having skin infections, etc. from the excess skin. You could contact your insurance provider and find out.0
